Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pair of audio glasses. The pair of audio glasses may include a frame, one or more lenses, and one or more temples. The pair of audio glasses may further include at least one low-frequency acoustic driver, at least one high-frequency acoustic driver, and a controller. The at least one low-frequency acoustic driver may be configured to output sounds from at least two first guiding holes. The at least one high-frequency acoustic driver may be configured to output sounds from at least two second guiding holes. The controller may be configured to direct the low-frequency acoustic driver to output the sounds in a first frequency range and direct the high-frequency acoustic driver to output the sounds in a second frequency range. The second frequency range may include one or more frequencies higher than one or more frequencies in the first frequency range.
